Timetables

Well, timetables are up on QCARD for some people (ahead of schedule, too). So, I ran the QCARD Wrapper (which won best in show of the CISC499 projects last year) on it and this is the result:

c2q

I went to the Peterborough Countdown to Queen’s today and was strangely enough the only current (non-incoming) student there who wasn’t part of Alumni Affairs. It was cool to get a chance to see some of the frosh in person for a change (especially since some of these people I’ve been answering questions for online). Free food is a bonus, too.

It’s funny, I haven’t gone to the same c2q event twice (and I’ve gone for the past 3 years). As a frosh I went to the one in Oshawa (which hasn’t been held for the past two years), last year I went to the one in Kingston (since I was in Kingston all summer) and this year Peterborough (since even though it was an hour drive it’s still the closest one to Port Perry). The drive there wasn’t bad (though there was a big truck carrying cars which was driven into a ditch and blocking both lanes of traffic on the highway with a police directing traffic on the shoulder around it); driving back far too many people in oncoming traffic kept leaving their high beams on (which is annoying).

B-Day / Heat Wave

It’s entirely too hot today. I’ve been having cake/pizza for basically every meal. My replacement power adaptor arrived today; shipping and customs fees were as much as (or more than) the adaptor itself. I do finally have use of my laptop again, though, which is great and now I’ve got what is hopefully a more durable power adaptor than the previous one.
